New update for Synth Riders introduces party mode on Apple Vision Pro

Synth Riders is getting a major update on Vision Pro, including a party mode for local multiplayer evenings.

FACTS

Kluge Interactive's rhythm game Synth Riders will receive a major update on 22 March. Introducing local party mode and Game Center achievements for the Apple Vision Pro version of the game. Synth Riders has been available through Apple's game subscription service, Apple Arcade, since the release of Apple's spatial computer on 2 February.

With the update, multiple Apple Vision Pro users can compete against each other in party mode on the same device using the guest feature. This new mode enables an arcade-style leaderboard where you can enter your initials and save scores locally without affecting the owner's progress on the Game Center leaderboard.

Friends and family can easily share the headset. The visionOS guest feature automatically recalibrates eye and hand tracking. You can also stream Synth Riders party mode gameplay to a compatible Apple TV or AirPlay device.

With new Game Center Achievements, you can reach new milestones and view or share them with other users as you navigate through jams and dodge obstacles.
